@anonymous: "Hello all,
We are running Exchange 2000 server with SP3 (plus the 
Sept post SP3 upgrade). We are experiencing an issue 
where our processor utilization hits 100 percent and may 
stay there for sometime. We have just been experiencing 
this within the last couple of days. I tested this by 
stopping the SMTP service (it dropped down to about 45 
percent) and then started the SMTP service. It 
immediately went to 100 percent!!
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I would greatly 
appreciate any suggestions or first hand knowledge in 
regards to this issue.
Thanks,
Greg"

corruption!) that smtp is trying to sort. Have you 
checked the smtp queue ? ALso check the settings for file 
virus checker thst it is not scanning the exchange 
directories.
